Card Game

Dragonshadow · 01-21-2011, 07:26 PM

Some friends and I just tried to play that game where you all take a playing card, don't look at your own, then hold it to your forehead and try to guess what you have compared to the other people. But we realised that, although we have seen this played in movies, we don't have a clue what it's called or how you even play it. And it's been bugging me since. What on earth is this game?

Also, am I the only person who doesn't know how to play poker?

I know just the game your talking about.

Unfortunately, I know about as much about it as you do.

And if it makes you feel any better, I only used to know how to play poker. It's right up there with spades. I used to be able to take anyone in spades. (yes, I know spades is a team game.)

Most of the names for this game are insensitive to a few here.
On the professional poker tour, they used the name "Blind Man's Bluff".
Simple names are "Indian", "Chief's Head", "Drunk Idiot's" all ending with "poker"

Poker is a strategy game. You HAVE to know when to hold, and when to fold!
